Bob Costas’ interview with beleaguered Texans quarterback Matt Schaub will air during “Football Night in America” on NBC prior to tonight’s Texans-49ers game.

Here are some excerpts, courtesy of NBC:

On the scrutiny and criticism the past few weeks: “It’s been tough. Obviously a lot of times we get too much criticism, but also we get too much praise when things are going good. It just comes with the territory. The one thing you have to do is go back to work the next day and the next week and prepare for the next game.”

On his second interception against Seattle, which tied the game and led to a loss in OT: “It was a bad decision. I should have, in that situation, just taken a sack or just thrown the ball at the ground near the vicinity of my receiver. It was just a bad play and I take responsibility for that.”

On his reaction to fans burning his jersey in front of the stadium and the Matt Schaub “Pick 6” burger: “I’m just going back to work. For me, it was get right back in the film room, get right back out on the practice field, get the game plan down, and just get ready for San Francisco. That’s all I know. That’s all I can do. These obviously are passionate fans, so we’re just looking to erase the past few weeks with a win.”
